dc.description.abstractThe present study aims to examine the resource Use Efficiency, post harvest losses and marketing of chick pea in Bemetara district. The specific objectives of the study were (i) to analyze the compound growth rate of area, production and productivity of Chick pea in the selected district and Chhattisgarh state (ii) to estimate the resource use efficiency in production of Chick pea in the study area. (iii) to find out the post harvest losses and factor affecting to the post harvest losses in Chick pea in the study area. (iv) to work out the cost and returns of Chick pea in the study area. (v) to estimate the marketing pattern of Chick pea in the study area. (vi) to identify the constraints in the post harvest management of Chick pea and suggest some suitable measures for the improvement of the same. The study was conducted in Bemetara district of Chhattisgarh state two blocks were selected from the district, nine villages selected from Bemetara block and six villages were selected from Saja block and fifteen chick-pea growing farmers were selected from each village for the investigation of the study. The primary data were collected from the 225 producers through personal interview by survey method with the help of well prepared schedule for the crop year 2019-20. Compiled data were subjected to exponential function, analysis and standard method of Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices and marketing analytical tools for fulfillment of the objectives. The major findings of this study revealed that total number of sample households were 225, which was 127, 60, 28 and 10 for marginal, small, medium and large farmers respectively. The overall average size of holding in hectare was 1.29, the overall average family size was 5.72, overall literacy percent was 79.44. The overall irrigated area was 1.64 ha. The overall gross cropped and net cultivated area was 3.58 ha. and 1.80 ha. respectively. Overall cropping intensity was 198.88 per cent registered in study area. The compound growth rate of area in Chhattisgarh state and Bemetara district was registered at 2.94** and 0.01 per cent has been found positively significant and positively non significant respectively in context of production in Chhattisgarh state and Bemetara district was registered at 4.07** and 1.75 per cent has been found positively significant and positively non significant respectively and in context of productivity in Chhattisgarh state and Bemetara district was registered at 1.07** and 1.73 per cent has been found positively significant and positively non significant respectively. On an overall basis cost of cultivation per hectare of chick-pea was ₹32486.21 per ha. The cost of cultivation per hectare showed increasing trend with respect to the farm size of holdings. The cost of cultivation in case of marginal farm was higher (₹30469.98/ha.) followed by small farms (₹31235.90/ha.), medium farms (₹33587.90/ha.) and large (₹35839.01ha.) respectively. On an overall basis input-output ratio in chick-pea cultivation was 1:81. On an overall basis net return in chick-pea cultivation was ₹ 26574.80 per ha. The average yield of chick-pea in the study area was 13.03 qt/ha which shows very satisfactory result in respect to average yield of Chhattisgarh i.e. about 1.01 qt/ha. The per quintal losses of chick-pea at sample farms was estimated to be 2.32 kg./qt., 2.74 kg./qt, 2.88 kg./qt. and 3.02 kg./qt. at marginal, small, medium and large farms respectively. The average total post harvest losses of chick-pea was estimated as 2.65 kg./qt. The estimated regression co-efficient of variables (inputs) pertaining to the data for production of chick-pea was found to be value R2 79.40 overall farm size. It indicates that variables were considered for estimation of their efficiency in production of chick-pea was contributed 79.40 percent .The fertilizer, plant protection chemicals and seed were significantly contribution to production of chick-pea. However the contribution of human labor, land and irrigation charges were contribute non-significantly to production of chick-pea and their contribution were found to be positive. It reveals that MVP of chick-pea to MFC ratio is less than unity for land (0.336692) followed by human labor (0.002404), fertilizer (0.401212), irrigation charges (0.00479), seed (0.024688) and plant protection Chemical (0.023498) indicated over utilization of these resources in all farmers for chick-pea cultivation. The total production per farm was maximum in large farms (14.67 qt/farm), overall being 13.03 qt/farm. Marginal farms have more home consumption (23.93%) as compared to small, medium and large farms. Marketable surplus was highest in large farms 11.80 qt./farm followed by medium 10.50 qt./farm, small farm 9.28 qt./farm and lowest in marginal farms as 8.40 q/farm. Producers share in consumer rupee was 98.51%, 86.53% and 90.00% in channel-I, channel-II and channel-III respectively. There were seven major problems in chick-pea marketing confronted by sampled chick-pea growers among these problem Low price of the product was observed as most severe problem with 68.48 mean score in Garret ranking, there were six major problems in post harvest losses in chick-pea confronted by sampled chick-pea growers among these problem Non-availability of storage was observed as most severe problem with 67.80 mean score in Garret ranking and there were six major problems in production of chick-pea confronted by sampled chick-pea growers among these problem Lack of labor during peak period of production was observed as most severe problem with 72.33 mean score in Garret ranking.en_US
